Hmmm?!? So, what pelted Jupiter's atmosphere without leaving a cloud of debris?
Something "rock solid" ... so solid (a high-nickel ataxite?) that it did not dis-
integrate like IIAB Sikhote-Alin did (thinking of Medvedev's famous painting!)?
Did it plunge through Jupiter's very dense (!) atmosphere (almost) vertically
without disintegrating?

Mulling here in Germany,

Bernd
